PHC Surveyor Episode 6: Spring Break
Spring break is almost here, just now barely out of reach,
Despite midterm season fear, still I thee humbly now beseech,
That relaxed from wearied labor, you take short repose this day,
To stop working on your paper, and instead take this survey :)
(Yes, I am a corruptor of the youth :-/)

Survey 5 Results

PHC Surveyor officially passed the 150 participants threshold this week :) Thank you everyone for participating!

Also, to the few alumni who take the survey (we've been getting about 3-5 each week), I apologize for my mistake this week on the demographic data. I didn't realize that it hadn't added the "Alumnus" option until it was too late, and by the time I added it in, apparently y'all had voted. My apologies. :-/

Without further ado, here are the conclusions and results :)

Conclusions

• Dr. Spinney wins the Presidential election by way of the freshmen vote.
• If you split out results by class, Spinney, Farris, and Mitchell take first, second, and third respectively among the underclassmen. Haynes, Kucks, and Russell take first/second/third among upperclassmen.
• Kinda puts a new spin on political "class warfare" doesn't it? ;)
• Bets on Tyler Stockton in a wrestling match. Bets on our amazing Marines if anyone dares try to mess with our campus.
• We like tradition :) Half of the student body prefer chicken tenders on Friday lunch.
• Not surprisingly, freshmen are more willing to have chicken tenders anytime once a week, while seniors are the most likely to be Friday lunch purists. 
• People who would rather not have chicken tenders maintain steady representation each class.
• More than half of students expect to be married by age 23-25. (Assuming college years to be 18-22, that puts marriage out at 2-3 years after graduation for most people.)
• 90% of campus expects to be married by age 27.
• Guys who rated the attractiveness girls at PHC a '7' or higher are 15% more likely to expect to be married by age 25, than guys who rated attractiveness at '6' or less. Correlation? A distinct possibility.
• People who are Friday Lunch Purists for chicken tenders are 10% more likely to believe they will be married by age 25 than people who are willing to eat chicken tenders anytime once a week. They are also 25% more likely to believe they will be married by age 25 than people who want chicken tenders less than once a week. Correlation? Hmm...(Liking chicken tenders apparently raises your expectation of a younger marriage age) ;)
• Dr. Montgomery is scary. PBR wins as "most intimidating class" by more than 30% over Con Law in second place.
• PHC students start the week on Monday. That's why we call it a weekend.
• Similar to the guys, most girls have their eye on about 2-3 guys. Ten percent have no interest in any of the guys at PHC whatsoever. (Man, that's depressing.)
• About 45% of students had danced some before coming to PHC. 
• Girls were 5% more likely to have never danced at all than guys, but also 7% more likely to have danced significantly before coming to PHC.
• Guys are 6% more likely to say "I don't dance" than girls :-P C'mon guys :-P
• PHC girls are pretty good looking. The average attractiveness rating of PHC girls is 6.77 ± 0.38 (Assuming normalized distribution at 90% confidence level.) The median rating was '7' and the most selected rating (mode) was '8'. (8 guys choose not to participate in this question.)
• Nearly half the students want more dorms as the next building project. Nearly a quarter would like a student kitchen.
• Notable "others" include a library building, a performing arts center, and an "Interactive Founding Fathers Exhibit."

Enjoy the results!

Survey 4 Results

We had record participation in this week's survey. Thank you everyone for participating!

(And for those of you who are ballot stuffing...please don't. It takes me quite a bit of time to sort out the read responses from the prank responses, and I'd rather not spend my morning doing that :-P)

Conclusions:

• Dr. Tallmon's hit song "Ode To the Virtuous Rhetor" sold 5.2 million copies in the year 2024. Notable covers include Aaron Strassner's hip hop version that was #1 on the charts for 6 months.
• Campus is divided on the dining hall scanner. Guys like it rather more, girls like it rather less.
• Mr. Hall is Captain BatHulk.
• In general, PHC students do pretty well reading what we are assigned. The rumors are true, however, that freshmen read more and seniors...well, "triage". ;)
• PHC students are more likely to read because the text is interesting and we are pledged by honor to do so. We are less likely to read if quizzes/worksheets are the only incentive.
• Most guys that aren't in relationships have 2-3 girls they are trying to decide with whom to initiate. :-P
• Big surprise: Most students call home several times a week or several times a month.
• Actually, I was rather surprised that this holds pretty true with no real distinguishable differences across gender and class. We are pretty consistent.
• Overall, we want a Fall break, not an Election break.
• Forty-five percent of girls would go on a blind date with a PHC guy. Fifty-five would not.
• Interestingly, Juniors and Seniors are much more likely to be willing to go on a blind date (~65%) than Freshmen and Sophomores (~35%)
• I personally find it interesting that the 45-55 split matches nearly exactly with the guy's question last week whether girls give guys a chance. (But that's just me.)
• I also find it interesting that more than 8 guys answered the "Girl's Only" question. Most of them answered "Yes." Still not sure whether they just weren't paying attention or they were trying to boost numbers. (For the record, I removed guy answers to the question.)
• I don't care what you all say, but I still think bowties are cool. Sixty percent of girls think they are nerdy though :-P

:) Enjoy the results!

Survey 3 Results

Thanks everyone! Sorry about the delay in getting this out. Here are the results from Survey 3.

Conclusions:

• Josiah and Lacy are pretty cute.
• Dr. Chodakiewicz knows a lot more about everything than you do.
• PHC should have a bagpipe concert :-P
• Red Hill > Oak Hill (sorry guys, I'm a D5er...I can't help it).
• Interestingly, D5 (which has more guys) beat D4 (with fewer guys) in the overall poll, but among the PHC women, the split is exactly 50-50.
• If you don't like the new Herald style...you  might be an upper classman.
• Overall, campus likes the new Herald style, but Freshmen and Sophomores are much more likely to approve than Juniors and Seniors.
• Guys should initiate more (but Freshmen girls are the most likely to give you some grace).
• The Dining Hall is the best place to socialize on campus.
• After that, girls are more likely to socialize off-campus or in the coffee shop. Guys are more likely to hang out in the dorm rooms.
• Seniors like socializing off campus. Juniors like the coffee shop.
• The student lounge ain't exactly the social spot on campus.
• The Juniors think girls give guys a chance. Everyone else says no.
• PHC values quality food.
